Patrick O'Donovan

Question:

173. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide details in tabular form by authority of the amount of commercial rates in each authority which has been levied but uncollected for the years 2008 to 2011, inclusive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17874/13]

Written answers

Detailed information in relation to uncollected commercial rates in 2008, 2009 and 2010, sourced from audited local authority Annual Financial Statements, is set out in the table below. 2010 is the latest year for which audited information is available.

Local authorities report in their Annual Financial Statements on the amount of rates collected per year including rates collected in that year but accrued in a previous year. Therefore the rates arrears figures in the table are cumulative year to year as they include arrears uncollected and carried forward from previous years.
